Starting early next year, the total allowable number of small-sized apartments in a private residential project will be restricted to prevent developers from flooding the the market with too much supply.

On a similar note, the Urban Renewal Authority is also setting new limitations on sizes of balconies due to public outcry.

Authorities had observed that some developers are building excessive large balconies with smaller indoor space, which warranted the new guidelines.
